The REI Member Dividend
The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.
Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.
Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.

Comments about Jetboil Coffee Press:
Works fine if fingers point down (unlike a normal French Press) and the grounds are ground coarse. Unfortunately it leaves a pile of messy grounds that are difficult to remove for packing out if you are into LNT camping. Would be fine if cleanup were not an issue (such as a campground with waste disposal).

Comments about Jetboil Coffee Press:
I cannot understand some folks that say this french press is difficult to use. I even read of somebody who said he had coffee grinds in his coffee, well with a french press it's no secret that you have to use coarse ground coffee.
I made some coffee on last weekend's Fly-In where I camped out for the night and there was nothing better to have a fresh, hot coffee in the afternoon.
What was even better was after an evening full of storms coming through and a fairly cool night, to fire up the Jetboil and make a great cup of coffee right under the open vestibule of my tent. And again the neighbors could smell it :-)
I must say if you know how to make french pressed coffee then this will be a great add-on to your Jetboil System. I took some coffee in an air-tight container and kept it cool and dark at all times and just poured it in.
I will try to NOT boil the water beforehand like I did this time. The advice of some other reviewer here makes a lot of sense so I'll give that a try next time.

Comments about Jetboil Coffee Press:
If youre like me you HAVE to have your coffee, even if you're in the middle of Patagonia. This little tool gets you your fix fast. It is a little difficult to use the first time especially if you've never used a french press but after three or four of your brews you will be 100% used to making coffee with a FP.

Comments about Jetboil Coffee Press:
On a cold morning when you're backpacking or camping, hot coffee is an amazing thing to have and this product delivers just that. With this Jetboil coffee press, everything is integrated with the cup that you already have. It packs amazingly small and weighs virtually nothing. It is as simple as letting your coffee steep in the water in the cup and then pressing down on the plunger. I have drank coffee from the cup while the coffee press was still in it and I've poured the coffee into a cup and it really doesn't make a difference. A very small amount of grounds will escape the press, but that means just don't drink the last little sip of coffee. This product truly does exactly what it says it does. With some patience in cleaning it, it is definitely worth bringing on your next backpacking or camping trip and it will give you a wonderful pick me up after fifteen miles of hiking the day before.

Comments about Jetboil Coffee Press:
Pros:
- light weight
- press/screen works well as mini disc-golf putter
- rod with sharpened tip doubles as collapsible tent stake
Cons:
- it costs money
- poor performance
- DOES NOT WORK AS WELL IN THE JETBOIL AS DOES A STANDARD PRESS FROM THE FRENCH PRESS YOU USE AT HOME!!!
Conclusion:
This product is garbage. It is inferior, in almost every way, to the press I took from my normal home french press (which fits in and works perfectly with the jetboil and has a replaceable screen).
I generally like jetboil stuff, but this accessory is just a piece of junk. Somewhere, the engineer that designed this thing is ashamed.
Tell all your backpacking buddies. Use your regular press. It fits and works better than this piece of garbage. Period.

Comments about Jetboil Coffee Press:
I truly believe any bad reviews for this little guy are most likely "user error"..like someone trying to play a song on a guitar..but they are not skilled at guitar..when the song goes bad..they blame the guitar..
I am skilled at coffee techniques..have a nice espresso machine and high-end Mazzer grinder..
How to use this baby:
mostly like the JetBoil instructions read..
Step-By-Step:
Bring 16 oz water to temp..not rolling boil..temp..I go up to 190F..
(you can go to boil..then wait for it to cool down below 200F..I like 190F for the brew process)..
turn off burner..remove cup and put in burner cozy..
find flat surface..
I make 16 ozs at a time so..
stir in 4 tbs course coffee grounds into water(Course as my grinder goes without lifting the stop)..
let it sit for around 3 minutes..
assemble the press..plunger fingers down..stem though the hole in the lid..(the hole in the lid stabilizes the press so it can't tilt)..
push real slow straight down till the press reaches the bottom and the handle mates with the lid..
{the handle cone shape matches the lids countersunk hole)..
Now gently pour the coffee out into a cup w/ lid still on..enjoy..
I did this method..then poured it through a sieve(filter) I use for staining water..but it was meant be used with coffee..
Barely any grain matter gets through the press and shows up on the sieve{a few is normal on any French press)..
and if you pour through a sieve or coffee filter the cup will be as clean as drip coffee..
Possible Fails:
Using the press like a plunger..up and down..you will get grain blow-by..
Too fast down is no good either..this makes back pressure and turbulance..
this little guy is only meant to trap the grains..not work them..the more you spin-um around..the more will get by..
so cowboy up if you go fast..and enjoy the grainfest..
Boiling Water..too hot can radically change flavor and not for the good..steep..not boil..
Can is out of round..
if your JB container has got smashed in the pack and is no longer round then lots of blow-by..
(doesn't have to be much out-of-round either)..
Piston fingers upside down..they point down..or you'll have lots of grains..
Bottom line..worked for me as advertised..the coffee flavor is really good by any coffee standard..great accessory to the JetBoil Flash and PCS..it's not meant for the Sol..but I bet you could get it to work if Sol has same diam cup{not sure)..the handle just wouldn't mate with the lid..hope this helps some..
0.8oz(23g) pack wt & no space loss(fits in cup assy)..for delicious morning coffee..me likey.. {:^)>

Comments about Jetboil Coffee Press:
For the longest time I thought that the French Press kit for the Jetboil was pretty cool. A novelty, but cool nonetheless.
This passed week I found a way to make the kit much more useful.
Steamed Vegetables.
If you add a little bit of water at the bottom of the jetboil, put the french press in, and put the chopped veggies on top of the french press screen. Boil water and let the steam cook the vegetables.
I am about to leave for a cross country bike trek and stopping by farmers markets along the way just became a whole lot more appealing. I will no longer have to eat raw vegetables for vital nutrients.
Jetboil needs to market it as the French Press/ Vegetable Steamer.

Comments about Jetboil Coffee Press:
The thing works. Sure it let's some of the coffee ground in from the sides, but sometimes you just can't have your cup of coffee and drink it too! o.0 What I did was pushed the sides out and set a line of super glue on the edges to seal the openings. It helped. Overall, look sky!

So the first time I used it, i didn't read the directions. So I didn't like it at all. When I got home I laughed at myself and made a pot the right way. It actually works great when you follow the directions.And it all stores inside the stove. I'm sure you'll love it if you use it correctly
